According to Ampang Jaya deputy OCPD Supt Mohd Zaid Hassan, police arrested the father on the same day when the report was lodged by the grandmother.

"The victim told her grandmother at about 1am on 25 December, saying that she was raped by her father at their home in Taman Changkat Permata.

"The rapes believed to had taken place at night since 2017 when she started to live with her father. She did not tell anyone about the incident as she was afraid she would be reprimanded by her father," he said in a statement today, adding that the 60-year-old grandmother was previously the victim's guardian until 2017.
